I used to hang out at the Lighthouse in the 50&#39;s; took lessons from Stan Levey, the drummer for awhile, and because of that I got a chance to hang out in the back booth during the week when they weren&#39;t busy. I was fortunate to be there for some of the great performances of the time when many people came to sit in when they weren&#39;t playing somewhere or weren&#39;t on the road. Talked with Rumsey many times; glad to see he lasted so long. Absolutely great memories.

I was blessed with knowing and taking clarinet lessons from him personally as a youth.. Unfortunately.. I never learned... but the love of Big Band music has always been in my brain and heart.. My Father and his Twin Brother use to dance with the likes of Phil Harris Band and other Big Bands in the 30&#39;s. </p>
<p>Jack used to stay at our home in the 50&#39;s and was like an uncle.. </p>

I was there a few years ago, and it&#39;s sad...not a note of real jazz to be heard there anymore. Best wishes!</p>
